SASH students representing NSSLHA at ASHA in Los Angeles

Student Association of Speech and Hearing (SASH)

SASH, an organization led by undergraduates, exists to unite students who intend on entering the workforce as SLPs and AUDs. The club strives to make Speech & Hearing Science majors active learners and to ignite a genuine passion for the specialized field. Our members participate in a variety of relevant activities throughout Western New York. We attend educational seminars, contribute to activities in nursing homes and hospitals, and volunteer at charity walks. SASH members attend on-campus meetings meant to enhance social and learning experiences, whether it be to prepare for the graduate school application process or to celebrate our field during Better Hearing & Speech Month. We hope to help eager students feel supported in the company of like-minded peers. The SASH officers would love to hear from you. They can be contacted at ubspeechandhearing@gmail.com or their personal email accounts listed below. Questions, suggestions, and requests to join SASH are always welcome!

SAA is a non-profit professional student organization dedicated to education, research, and networking in audiology. The Buffalo SAA chapter aims to serve as an active voice for Au.D. and Ph.D. students at the local, regional, and national level.

Comprised of about thirty members, our local chapter is determined to be active in community service efforts, government relations, and hearing health awareness campaigns. In addition, the Buffalo SAA Chapter continues to serve as a strong social outlet for Au.D. and Ph.D. students.

All graduate students in the CDS speech-language pathology program are automatically members of GSA-CDS-Speech and are encouraged to join our NSSLHA chapter. Our goal is to promote academic, scholarly, clinical, and professional interests of its members. Academic events, volunteer opportunities, and social events are offered throughout the semester. Active members can expect to connect professionally with people in the CDS community, including students and faculty/staff. Events include: The Moving Day Walk for Parkinson’s Disease, Friendsgiving Potluck, Annual Teddy Bear Clinic, Annual UB CDS Conference, and the Graduation Party.

NSSLHA members receive ASHA member benefits including opportunities for NSSLHA scholarships, career support and access to ASHA journals.
